I've stayed here four times. It's near historic sites with public transportation at the door. Restaurants and bars are within a block. My room had views of the yacht basin, lighted bridges, and illuminated buildings across the river. Breakfast is a full American style, and coffee and tea are available 24/7, including in-room machines. The rooms are nice despite ongoing renovations on different floors, there was no noise disturbing me. Lastly, the hotel promptly resolved an issue with my bank releasing my deposit hold.

The property is old but clean. The toilet in my room didn't flush properly. When I called to ask for a toothbrush because I forgot mine, they were out of it and didn't know when they would have some delivered.

Polite, helpful staff. Room was comfortable and clean. Shower pressure was very nice. Beautiful view of the river and bridge from 9th floor room. When checking in, the desk clerk made a simple mistake and double charged us for the room. He realized his mistake and gave us a room upgrade and waved the parking fee for the length of our stay. (Also refunded the extra charge) Only somewhat negative observations were a lot of noise outside from traffic and people out and about late at night and, the next room over from ours (adjoining room) noise from that room could be heard loud and clear in our room. Otherwise, it was a great place to stay. Easy to get to events and attractions from this area and it was a calmer part of the city. I would stay again if in the area.

The heater was so loud, in a newly renovated room, that it woke both of us up when it went on several times during the night. Very aggravating! The other drawback was the noise from the highway, which didn’t make for a restful night. Otherwise, the staff was very accommodating and friendly, and the property looks fresh.

Loud Noise From Highway

Our stay occurred during some ongoing renovations occurring at the property. Upon arrival, we were pleasantly greeted by hotel staff and were promptly provided key cards for parking and our room. We stayed one night and were out early enough to not be impacted by any noise from the construction. We stayed on the 9th floor (room 918, City View) and generally the room was clean and well taken care of. The two negatives, one being a minor inconvenience, that we experienced during our stay was that the TV was outdated (not a smart TV) and the constant noise from traffic passing on the highway. We checked the window several times to make sure that it was fully shut and ultimately determined that the STC rating of the window was either inadequate and/or the caulk around the opening was failing allowing extra noise to pass through. Ultimately the noise prevented me and my partner from having a pleasant night's rest. The stay did include a free breakfast that we opted not to indulge in.
